    On 8/29/2008, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind 
or Severely Disabled published notice (73 FR 50931) of proposed

recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small entities other

the service to the Government.
    3. There are no known regulatory alternatives which would 
accomplish the objectives of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46-
48c) in connection with the service proposed for addition to the
